Hello, 
I have attached the information on export to US Virgin Islands from our Ag agent. If we can find a working 
number for the Ag agent on the Island we would be happy to offer any assistance in getting the import permits. 
Have a good afternoon,

Matt- read the first paragraph on page 3-9 of this manual. It states that plant movement between the mainland 
and US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico is restricted. The last sentence states that plant movement between Puerto

Rico and the Virgin Islands is not restricted in either direction. 
Also, here is the body of the 2014 email from our export specialist. 
Good afternoon. 
I was recently able to obtain updated information regarding the exportation of nursery stock to the U.S. Virgin 
Islands. 
In general, any nursery stock being shipped into the U.S. Virgin Islands requires a STATE phytosanitary 
certificate.  There are no specific additional declarations except those which may be included on any import 
permit which accompanies the application from the shipper. 
They should include IFA certification and this could be included as an Additional Declaration as needed. 
Importers in the U.S.V.I. are required to check with the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Planning and 
Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture to obtain an import permit. Please the attachments. It is 
recommended that you inquire as to whether or not the exporter has received an import permit from the 
importer prior to issuing the phyto. Shipments are likely to be held up without an import permit. 
I have attached five documents for your reference. 
• Title 12, Virgin Islands Code; Copy of the Endangered and indigenous Species Act of 1990 
• Information Sheet from the Government of the US Virgin Islands 
• Permit Request Form 
• Indigenous Species Permit Application Form 
• Example of the Non-Indigenous Species Permit
